Escaping to the country, living the dream, and battling the blackberries.

We only went to town for a couple things...

So, we went to town for a heat mat kit for seed starting, coffee, pig chow, and straw. We came home with all of that PLUS a new brooder light, more seeds, 3 blueberries, 2 bareroot trees (semi dwarf peach and apricot... The kiwanis were having a fundraiser sale and they were only $10 each), 2 bareroot lilacs, and a pair of Swedish ducklings (boy and girl). So much for planning, eh?

Henry drooling over the box of EIGHT guineas we brought home last weekend. We'd only planned for four, but the lady gave them to us for half off if we took all 8 because they were nearly ready to start flying and they couldn't have guineas flying around the feed store. :)

About Me

30-something gal who grew up in N California raising Percherons, and was a parkie for 4 seasons during college. After several years of being stuck in town, my lumberjack man (LJ for short) and I finally escaped to the country. No more listening to car horns and squealing tires! While I attempt to use proper grammar and punctuation, I tend to write like I talk. Lots of sentence fragments, run-on sentences. Bear with me as I try to keep a record of activity/progress on our property and with our critters (which at any time might include dogs, cat, ducks, geese, chickens, meat chickens, pigs, goats, turkeys, guineas, bees, etc)
